After seeing the mission's content, Song Yang couldn't help but curse.
In his previous life, he was well aware of the power of protagonists: all misfortune turned into luck, and it was practically impossible to kill them, as there was always something or someone to save them.
Therefore, becoming an enemy of the Destiny Child didn't seem like a good idea.
"But, System, why didn't you warn me before the Shura Palace offended him?" Song Yang murmured angrily, realizing that he had already offended the Destiny Child to death.
After all, his Shura Palace had hunted him for months, turning his life into a living hell. One could say that Fang Yu hates the Shura Palace to the bone at this moment.
[Ding, host, don't worry about that. Although the Celestial Dao favors the Destiny Child in terms of resources and connections, it will not do anything against you if you manage to kill him.
After all, if a person who has received all kinds of celestial treasures is still killed, it means they are not worthy of being favored by destiny!]
Upon hearing this, Song Yang let out a slight sigh of relief and thought that he had made the right decision by coming personally instead of sending a subordinate.
Otherwise, he would have only contributed experience for the Destiny Child to grow stronger and stronger.
But, at this moment, Fang Yu was nothing more than an ant in the Divine Transformation Realm!
Of course, even knowing that Fang Yu was merely in the Divine Transformation Realm, he didn't dare to underestimate him, after all, this was the Destiny Child.
Therefore, Song Yang decided to use all his strength to kill him in one go!
Without hesitation, the majestic fifth layer of Sword Intent bloomed to its fullest, and a five-colored halo appeared around Song Yang, the Sacred Domain of the Five Elements.
At the same time, he drew the high-grade sacred sword, the one he obtained from the Celestial Sword Sect, and launched it toward Fang Yu with all his might.
Third Movement of the Celestial Sword Technique: One Sword Splits the Heavens!
This was the third and final movement of the Celestial Sword Technique, which Song Yang had never used before, and it was also his most powerful attack!
If others saw this attack, they would be terrified, but if they knew that this majestic blow was aimed at a young man in the Divine Transformation Realm, they wouldn't know what to think.
After all, faced with such an attack, not only a mere Divine Transformation, but even a Saint King would probably be doomed to die!
However, Song Yang didn't think he was exaggerating; in fact, he even wondered if this would be enough. Perhaps he should use the Phoenix Blood Sword, an imperial artifact.
At the moment when the sword left Song Yang's hand, cutting through the heavens at full speed, Song Yang suddenly realized that Fang Yu, who had been with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them!
'Did he notice me?'
But he quickly dismissed the idea, thinking it was impossible. With his aura concealment technique, which was an imperial technique, even a Quasi-Emperor would not be able to detect him before he attacked.
Inside the cavern, Fang Yu, who had just broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm and was inside the space of his bone pendant, suddenly heard an urgent warning from the artifact spirit.
"Master, be careful!"
"What happened, Xin'er?" Fang Yu asked, somewhat confused.
"I just sensed a terrible killing intent directed at you, master," Xin'er said quickly.
'Killing intent? How is this possible? I'm in a very well-hidden cavern… wait…'
Hearing this, Fang Yu was puzzled, but then suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn't help but think intensely of a name.
'Shura Palace!'
Thinking about how he had lived the past few months like a rat hiding in the sewers, he couldn't help but become furious.
Most importantly, because of the Shura Palace, he had been forced to flee from his own sect and stay away from his beloved Yulin.
With immense hatred in his heart, imagining that the Shura Palace assassins were about to attack again, he couldn't help but feel a bit of despair.
But he did not doubt Xin'er's words..
After all, besides his treasures and undead monsters, one of the most important factors that had always helped him escape from the Shura Palace assassins was the warning from the artifact spirit, Xin'er, who could sense danger in advance.
Therefore, he did not hesitate and left the space of the bone pendant.
However, as soon as his eyes opened, all he could see was a devastating sword slashing through everything in its path. Facing this sword, he felt an endless fear.
He had never seen such a powerful aura in his life, not even when he personally met his 'father-in-law,' the master of one of the Three Great Sects of the Eastern Region.
Seeing the terrifying sword that seemed to split the sky coming toward him at an astonishing speed, Fang Yu realized he didn't even have time to summon any undead from the pendant.
Yet, there was no terror or fear in his expression—only one thing: regret.
'Am I going to die now?'
'Father, Second Uncle, I'm sorry I couldn't avenge you… I failed.'
'Yulin, I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill my promise.'
Suddenly, memories from months ago, when he was still at the Qiankun Sect, surfaced in his mind.
It was the day he left the Qiankun Sect, and a girl appeared, speaking in a sweet and worried voice:
"Brother Yu, why do you have to leave? Just stay here, stay with me. You don't need to worry about the Shura Palace."
"My father is already furious about the last assassination attempt and will make the Shura Palace pay for it. If you stay here, he can protect you."
"Don't forget, he's a powerful Saint King."
Seeing the hopeful look of the girl in front of him, Fang Yu sighed slightly: "I'm sorry, Yulin, but I can't."
"I simply don't want to leave my life in someone else's hands. I want to fight for it, I want to become stronger, and I want to make the Shura Palace pay with my own hands!"
